Lets not forget F1 next year will have three different power sources, Engine, Turbo and Kers;)
Audi have been most successful in LMP racing with a diesel electric Hybrid;)
An electric motor has far more torque than a petrol engine so it really should be an interesting series;)

Now you have given away another of my ideas for a shot with a kid, standing at the side of the track, holding an over sized Scalextric Controller ;)

Correct, these are slot cars, however if you compare a scalextric to a scooter these slot cars are comparable to F1, in terms of speed some can achieve actual speeds of around 70 mph.
Just setting off to the young driver test at Silverstone. Photos later.

One hour race. A 20 stint, then swap for new fully charged car, another twenty minute stint and then swap back to the original slightly re-charged car for a ten minute blast to the finish.
This tells you that swapping cars gives them time for a pee, a cup of tea and catch up with the soaps.
